  • Concept and Types of Tourism
    m Tourism: Concept and Types of Tourism m m 1.1 CONCEPT OF TOURISM Tourism is an ever-expanding service industry with vast growth potential and has therefore become one of the crucial concerns of the not only nations but also of the international community as a whole. Infact, it has come up as a decisive link in gearing up the pace of the socio-economic development world over. It is believed that the word tour in the context of tourism became established in the English language by the eighteen century. On the other hand, according to oxford dictionary, the word tourism first came to light in the English in the nineteen century (1811) from a Greek word 'tomus' meaning a round shaped tool.' Tourism as a phenomenon means the movement of people (both within and across the national borders).Tourism means different things to different people because it is an abstraction of a wide range of consumption activities which demand products and services from a wide range of industries in the economy. In 1905, E. Freuler defined tourism in the modem sense of the world "as a phenomena of modem times based on the increased need for recuperation and change of air, the awakened, and cultivated appreciation of scenic beauty, the pleasure in. and the enjoyment of nature and in particularly brought about by the increasing mingling of various nations and classes of human society, as a result of the development of commerce, industry and trade, and the perfection of the means of transport'.^ Professor Huziker and Krapf of the.

    The Business and Management Review, Volume 10 Number 5 December 2019 Considerations for archaeological tourism development to boost socio-economic upliftment: Analysis on Mahasthangarh, Bangladesh Mst.Khadijatul Kobra Mahbub Parvez Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Faculty of Business and Entrepreneurship, Daffodil International University, Bangladesh. Md. Ibrahim Khalil Department of Management, Business Studies Group National University, Bangladesh. Keywords 4A Development, Attraction Management, Local Economy, Community Tourism, Sustainable Development, Archaeological Commodities. Abstract Archaeological tourism is a prospective tourism form to exalt the country branding. The objective of this study is to underline the 4A development to advance Mahasthangarh as an exceptional tourism destination in Bangladesh. The authors have used focus group discussion and observation method among the stakeholders to find out the eventual results. A longitudinal study among the local community people has been conducted to find out how community archaeology can develop local economy. Disability access, funding mechanisms, signage and language, new technology and social media, marketing and merchandise, coordinated tourism strategies, environmental impact assessment, logistics for visitors, scope for vernacular arts and crafts possibly in the form of merchandise sold to the tourists, strategies to mitigate the harmful effects by increased footfall of tourists are included in a brief. Sustainable 4A development can lead the destination to reach a new height as well as can support the concerned authorities to ensure adequate facilities and flexible accessibility to open the door of archaeological tourism at Mahasthangarh which can turn the rural economy of this area into an emblematic example. 1. Introduction Tourism is one of the many external forces influencing the direction and options for local development (Gildea, Sligo, & Hanrahan, 2009).

  • Introduction
    Introduction TOURISM, TOURISTS, AND ANTHROPOLOGISTS AT WORK TIM WALLACE NorthCarolina State University The anthropology of tourism is a relatively recent topic area within both academic and applied anthropology, having gotten its start in the 1960s and 1970s. Valene Smith’s edited work Hosts and Guests: The Anthropology of Tourism (1977) marks the beginning of the field as a serious academic concern. Since then it has grown rapidly. Anthropologists were (and some continue to be) ambivalent about studying tourists, but initially they were concerned with the impact of tourists and tourism on local communities, especially in rural regions. Much of the initial findings suggested that tourism generally had negative impacts on communities that had become tourist destinations. In this volume, the contributing authors were asked to reflect more on the positive and practical contributions of anthropology to the field of tourism studies and to the tourism industry itself. The authors in their various ways have successfully answered their charge. A brief synopsis of the 13 other papers in the volume is given. KeyWords: anthropology of tourism, development, tourists, ethnography, applied anthropology INTRODUCTION As an introduction to the topic of tourism impacts mentioned frequently in the pages to come in this Bulletin, let me give the reader a flavor of that tourism from my own experience. It is only : a.m., and already it is degrees. I am awakened by rustling, squealing, and an occasional thump from the balcony of my Hotel Costa Verde room, near Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication ARCHAEOLOGICAL TOURISM: A CREATIVE APPROACH ABSTRACT This theoretical paper conceptualises the role of tourism providers in facilitating creative tourism experiences by focusing on their ingenious enterprise, which we argue can help capture the tourism potential of intangible archaeological heritage. Intangible archaeological heritage can be understood as knowledge emanating from actors’ own interpretation of archaeological sites that have either become physically inaccessible or been destroyed since initial exploration. Archaeological heritage is often equated with tangibility, which results in an omission of experiences that intangible archaeological heritage can offer. By proposing a rethinking of the archaeological tourism framework, we argue that the touristic value of both tangible and intangible archaeological heritage is better realised and can be further utilised to study the easily overlooked aspect of providers’ ingenuity. HIGHLIGHTS Archaeological tourism fails to capture the intangibility of archaeological heritage Creative tourism is proposed as a more suitable framework for archaeological tourism Co-creation between tourists and providers is central to achieving creative tourism A proposed framework underlines providers’ creativity in delivering memorable experiences KEYWORDS: archaeological heritage; creative tourism; co-creation; cultural heritage 1.

In the summer, people go there to get away from the city life of Yerevan, and the heat, for the fresh air in the mountains. In the winter, the town is completely overtaken by skiers and people who just want to relax and enjoy the snow and scenery. Having a good infrastructure and great reputation, Tsakhkadzor is a stronger "pole" and "hinders" the entry of tourists into the Marmarik valley and the Meghrayor community. From this point of view, serious steps must be taken to improve the infrastructure of the community and to create tourist information centers. That is why the groups were also oriented towards awareness raising events. The Meghradzor community is located in the valley of Marmarik, famous for its marvelous nature, the Marmarik River, oak, maple and wild pear forests, excellent climatic conditions, Marmarik reservoir, mineral water sources and hospitable residents.

  • The DEEPSAL Project: Using the Past for Local Community Futures in Jordan
    The DEEPSAL Project: Using the Past for Local Community Futures in Jordan Paul Burtenshaw Bill Finlayson Oroub El-Abed Carol Palmer Abstract The Deep Past as a Social Asset in the Levant (DEEPSAL) project, conducted in 2015 by the Council for British Research in the Levant, examined two communities in southern Jordan, Beidha and Basta, who live near significant Neolithic archaeological sites. The project collected information on the communities’ current socioeconomic conditions, their relationship with local cultural heritage and how that cultural heritage currently benefits or hinders them. The information was used to inform nascent strategies to utilize the sites sustainably as development assets and suggest alternative strategies as necessary. The results showed that a tourism-based strategy is suitable for Beidha but there was a need to focus on basic business skills. For Basta a tourism-based strategy is currently unsuitable, and efforts should rather focus on supporting educational activities. The results of the project are presented here within the context of archaeology’s increasing interest to use archaeological resource to benefit local communities, and outlines lessons for that effort. Keywords: Jordan; community development; public archaeology; sustainable development; cultural heritage management; Neolithic archaeology This work was supported by the British Academy, through their Strategic Development Fund Introduction and Background One characteristic of the recent history of archaeology has been a nascent but persistent rise in archaeologists interested in using their actions and the archaeological resources they work with to provide benefits or ‘development’ to the communities they work among (Hodder 2010, LaFrenz Samuels 2016). While local museums and amateur archaeologists have always worked within their communities, this increase is particularly pronounced among academic or university-based archaeologists who have sought to increasingly connect their research outputs to positive public impacts.
